Sectors: Buildings, Economy-wide, Energy, Transport, Waste
The Strategy outlines a framework of programmes to increase the economy's resilience to climate change by encouraging a transition to low carbon development and replacing imported fossil fuels with indigenous renewable sources.

Strategic goals include: (1) increase energy efficiency by 30% by 2033 (2011 base year); (2) reduce dependence on fossil fuels by 50% by 2020; (3) triple the amount of energy derived from waste materials; (4) become a net electricity exporter by 2020; and (5) build the Ministry's institutional capacity to accomplish these mandates.

The Strategy articulates the need to develop an Energy-Efficiency and Conservation Policy after collecting end-use data from relevant sectors that includes: revised building codes, energy efficient appliance standards, and energy audits of commercial and high-use buildings.
Examples:
Resilient infrastructure, Fossil fuel divestment, Net zero growth plan, Sustainable fishing
